msrdiver 42 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Does the FIOCCHI Low Recoil 9 pellet OO (1150fps) cycle in your Saiga using either a drum or magazine? The lowest velocity I've shot is 1200fps. If your Saiga cycles 1150 skeet loads I'll assume the Saiga will cycle 1150 fps buckshot. I like the feel of this ammo using my 20" Mossberg 500 and I'm looking to order more. How much more to order is the question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vintagedude88 16 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Those shells look a little too short to be 2-3/4" Is that picture distorted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Those shells look a little too short to be 2-3/4" Is that picture distorted? Yes it is. Clicking on the pic opens it up to the right proportions. By the way, speaking of short shells, Bear makes some 2" long 00 mini-buck rounds in 12 ga that cycle in my Saiga 12. Here's a pic. Click on it for link: I'll post a separate thread with video shortly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 They cycle just fine for me in one of my guns, but if I recall correctly they are slightly too long to fit in the drum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slug-O 6 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Federal makes LE13200 OO buck 9 pellets at 1145 FPS. It runs great on setting 2 in my 8" Tromix. Check out this video on YouTube: Slug-O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
msrdiver 42 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 Thanks for your responses. I just ordered a few hoping they'll work in at least the mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

porschechris 0 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Fiocchi low recoil buckshot and slugs will NOT cycle in my Redjacket converted S12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Havoc308 3 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 full power Fiocchi buck won't cycle in my S12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raidersfan_5544 57 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 It cycles fine in my Tromix. I also have used the federal Tactical buck at 1145fps with no probs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
msrdiver 42 Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 HAVOC308: The FIOCCHI full power buckshot is 1325 fps! That should cycle the action just fine. What about other 1325 fps buckshot brands in your gun? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What about other 1325 fps buckshot brands in your gun? Every other type of full power buck, slugs, Rem heavy dove, Federal reduced recoil buck, basically everything but the cheapest Wally World birdshot will run but put some Fiocchi in the mag and FTE EVERY round, even out of the factory 5 round mag. Which I don't understand because it seems to have enough thump, I hunt with it out of an 870. I have relegated it to pump gun only ammo. Must have been a bad day at the Fiocchi plant or something. My gun is a Obama special from Cadiz, extra gas port drilled, KA gas piston etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What type of cheap Wally World birdshot are you referring to.... Win Univ bulk? Just curious.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The birdshot is Winchester that comes in a 100 pack. Don't have any more of it, shot most of it at doves. The gun likes everything else, so I just won't buy any more of it.
